Back in GS3, just as we first released ranged weapons, I was able to train Erek as a 3x Stalk/Hide (you could do that back then) ambushing sniper, but ALSO still be able to double OHE, Shield, and of course ranged weapons. At the same time, I was able to maintain enough Arcane Runes, and MIU to use whatever magic items or scrolls I wished, AND have enough Survival and Climbing that I needed, AND be 1x in spells with a few ranks of mana control thrown in. Granted, this was before the days of Lores, any useful CMANs for ranged, and also a spell list in which 630 was not implemented.
What I am thinking about is to determine if it's possible to find a training path that would allow for two choices in weapons, both of which that would be viable, so Ranged + Sword/Board, or Ranged + Two Weapon Combat, or even possibly Ranged + Two Handed Weapons (based on whichever actually was possible based on training points).
While I THINK it might be possible, the trick is in determining what all else (training wise) would I have to give up without gimping myself. Has anyone tried this Pre-Cap, or is it only doable post-cap?
